This weekend is the big Poe Celebration in Baltimore featuring John Astin and your humble narrator - www.poeforevermore.com. I have sold and divided almost all of the assets, and my career as an executor and trustee will become a career in world traveling. And don't forget - "DADA Returns" (20th Anniversary Edition), directed by myself, coming to DCAC in May and June, and then moving to the DC Fringe Fest in July! Broke off 1.5 teeth on an innocent pakora. Woo-hoo!

Put as simply as possible, you can't do everything at once. I think I could be at serious risk for dilettantism (a most dreaded, progressive and fatal condition), considering my left-handed Aries brain, so I just needed to focus. One of the few constants in my life has been the performing arts and cultural anthropology, so I have allowed those to plot my course. There are a million other reasons, as there always are, but primarily, I wanted to create alternate universes rather than document this one. Of course, my interests and fascinations still pour into me and fIow back out, seemingly uncontrollably - and by the time a project is ready to go, I'm usually beyond it already. Oh, and I must thank you again for your kind words - especially coming from a photographer of your caliber - you have produced some of my very favorite sets. And I assume this is not your only fascination in the universe...(??) To be continued...
